Next-gen Porsche Macan to be all-electric

The next generation Porsche Macan will be fully electric. It will be Porsche's first all-electric SUV and is expected to go into production at the start of the next decade.

Like the Taycan, the next generation Macan will be based on the Porsche PPE (Premium Platform Electric) architecture developed in collaboration with Audi and it could feature an 800-volt electric drive technology. The new Macan will be built at Porsche's Leipzig facility.

The company plans to invest 6 billion euros in electric mobility by 2022 and by 2025, 50% of all new Porsche vehicles could have an electric drive system. Over the next 10 years, Porsche plans to shift its focus on petrol and plug-in hybrid models along with purely electric sports cars. 

In February 2018, the company had announced that it would no longer produce diesel powered cars due to change in customer preferences and stricter emission norms.
